Markowitz tops Dubie in latest Vermont poll

Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas's decision not to run for re-election has attracted a crowd of Democrats looking to become the next governor of the Green Mountain State. It can be tough to set yourself apart in a large field -- but a recent poll shows that EMILY's List candidate Secretary of State Deb Markowitz is doing just that.

According to the WCAX/Research 2000 poll, Deb has the highest support of any Democratic candidate when matched head-to-head against the Republican nominee, Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie, with 43% of voters polling for Deb and 41% for Dubie. The poll also matched up Dubie with other possible Democratic nominees -- and each trails Dubie by at least 5 points, leaving Deb a the only Democratic contender to poll ahead of Dubie.

While these results are encouraging, they also show how intense this election will be: first a multi-candidate Democratic primary, then what appears will be a tight race against Republican Dubie.
